[ [link removed] ]sign the petition to restore the VRA
Supporter,
Today is the anniversary of the Voting Rights Act!
We need to send a powerful message to Congress that Americans demand
protections for our sacred right to vote!
Help us get to 50,000 signatures in the next 48 hours. We're already more
than halfway there!
[ [link removed] ]SIGN THE PETITION NOW to pass the Voting Rights Advancement Act and
restore the VRA to full strength!>>
It's been six years since the Supreme Court gutted a key provision of the
Voting Rights Act in the 5-4 Shelby County ruling. You know how the story
goes from there...
Voters in cities and states that were once protected by federal oversight
have faced a new flood of discriminatory laws that make it harder to vote.
(States like North Carolina, Georgia, and Texas... policies like
restrictive voter ID, reduction in polling hours, and the shuttering of
the most accessible polling places for minority communities... )
The Voting Rights Advancement Act is a chance to restore vital protections
against this kind of discrimination and bring the VRA back up to full
strength in the modern era.
[ [link removed] ]Add your name immediately to pass the Voting Rights Advancement Act>>
We’ve been fighting for legislation to restore the VRA's full strength for
years and now we finally have the chance to get it passed ... and not a
moment too soon, as the Right has become increasingly reliant on voter
suppression tactics to win elections and they show no sign of slowing down
in their efforts to make it harder for people to vote!
We can't let the Right keep using voter suppression to steal elections.
[ [link removed] ]It will take you less than one minute to sign the petition -- add your
name NOW to ensure that every eligible American is able to exercise their
fundamental right to participate in our democracy!>>
Thanks for all you do.
